EDITORIALS CCWfCf FRIDAY, JUNE 4,1943 I4tor.il Slow; Start, But A Fast Finish Nazis, as events have shown, are punk prophets, even punker psychologists. They built their hopes of world conquest on the belief that America would stand by with folded hands while Hitler's legions mopped up Europe, alter which conquest of the rest of the earth, including the Western Hemisphere, would be comparatively easy. Those Nazis who did not believe America would remain quiescent found comfort in the thought that even if she did wake up, it would be too late; she couldn't possibly influence the course of events because she couldn't make up her mind and get going in time. In this fatal miscalculation the Nazis were misled by vociferous isolationists and Nazi- loving organizations and Individuals in this country, who unwittingly and unintentionally did this country a good turn by contributing no little to our awakening. In miscalculating first America's probable reaction to Nazi aggres- aion and second her ability to -work miracles of production, the Nazis followed precisely the same tern of dumbkopf reasoning that led the junkers under the kaiser down the same path of destruction.

Obviously the German mentality is the same under Hitler as under Wilhelm. They never learn. James F. Byrne's report to the nation and the world on the state of America's war production program must make sour reading to Hitler's braintrusters even it makes good reading and encouraging reading to Americans and the peoples of the United Nations. Tremendous as these are as of this moment, they are but an earnest of the unimaginable figures yet to come.

We are just hitting our stride in production for war. We are just getting our training program rounded out We are just getting set to start the real attack on the axis strongholds. We have given them, up to now, only a foretaste of what ig to come. For when America gets rolling there is no stopping her. What she lacks in speed in getting started, in making up her mind, she makes up for in the speed and scope of her output once begun.

Washington Mme. Chiang's Travels A Job For Secret (Second of two articles on wartime news restrictions.) By JACK STINNETT WASHINGTON If you asked the Secret Service (which is responsible for the safety of all visiting dignitaries) you probably wouldn't get an answer, but those who should know will tell you that the toughest job of guarding they have had since we entered the war was that of seeing to the of Madame Chiang Kai- That may be surprising in view of the fact that Great Britain's Minister Churchill has visited this country twice; President Roosevelt has been to Casablanca and Mexico, via all the intermediate states; and that there has been an endless parade cf Latin American presidents. The reason Madame Chiang was a nerve-wrecker for the SS- men is simply that her cross- country junket was mapped in advance and there was no secret about where she was today or where would be tomorrow. When Churchill arrived for his latest visit in the United States, there wasn't a word of warning to anybody but the White House Inner circle, a few military officials, and Secret Service. His way was paved with precautions, but not the kind that took local police forces, press, radio, port officials, and others into confidence.

News photographers were allowed to take his picture as he climbed into the President's car for his to the White House, but there was no press conference. His visit made the Secret Service jittery. So did the President's trip to Mexico. And the Roose- velt hop to Casablanca was a nightmare of Secret Service responsibility. White House Secret Service Chief Michael "Mike 1 Reilly covered every inch of that ground before the President took off, but If one word had leaked out that the President going, Rellly's precautions would have had to be quintupled.

During Churchill's visit, there were extra guards on the White House, starting with the ring of MP's regularly assigned to that task, hut you hardly would have noticed it The only time that the White House has the appearance of being super-guarded is when some announced arrival or departure if taking place. Which brings us back to Madame Chiang. Why, it may be asked, was Churchill's visit so hush-hush, and Madame Chiang's so well advertised. Simply because Madame Chiang's visit had to do with molding public opinion, while Churchill's had to do wtth secret conferences over future United Nations war strategy. In the former there was every reason for the latter, every reason for secrecy.

I couldn't say for sure, but I would be willing to bet that the Secret Service would rather take the President to Moscow under this new system of secret continent-hopping than to take him to Kansas City on an announced speaking tour. You can find the best argument for censorship today in the comparative safety with which our international bigwigs skip around the world. ACROSS Vigor: slang i. Discard I. Moccasin 13.

She awoke instead to full daylight Opening her eyes, she gaaed up through shimmering green spruce boughs utirring faintly against the incredibly blue sky. In the distance a partridge drummed. Some sow.ll animal rustled la a nearby clump of saskatoon. Turning her head, Penny caught a glimpse of bright eyes and a furry the little creature vanished. Penny lifted the mosquito net, mad sat up.

Below, on her right, the river sparkled. In spite of all she had come through, in spite-of all she might yet have to endure up here in the north country, she felt suddenly, inexplicably joyous. "I've fallen in' love with the wilderness," she thought, astonished. Rising, she stretched, breathed deeply of the fresh, clean air. Dolly Gets Into Pictures And Is Now Diana Lynn By BOBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD One the pleasant things about sticking around our town a while ifi that you get to see people blossom out You also see them go to seed, and that's another story which has nothing to do with Diana Lynn.

JDiano is blossoming. Diana is 16. She is pretty, sweet and demure, but she is so different from little Dolly Loehr who also was pretty, sweet, and demure that I'll have to tell you about them both. Dolly Loehr was a shy little rabbit who played the piano beautifully in a picture three years ago Magic in Music." Dolly was 13. She had never expected to be in pictures.

She came to a. movie studio for the first time as accompanist to a girl violinist named Patricia Travers, who was being tested. After the test, Dolly was asked if the could learn a Grieg concerto. She said she could. She went home and worked her mother was a music teacher and Dolly had been studying piano since she was she came back and played the composition perfectly.

That was how Dolly got into pictures. She played a very sweet little girl who played the piano beautifully, And "For a year and a half," said Dolly, "I didn't do anything. I was under contract to the studio, but I never felt that I belonged. I couldn't hold my head up when I came into the studio restaurant. I had an awful inferiority complex, as if I hadn't any right to be -with the people who were working." Star of "There's Magic in Music" was a youngster named Susanna Foster, wnp sang.

Susanna became Dolly Loehr's best friend. She was as spry and forward as Dolly was shy. Susanna used to storm through the Paramount executive halls crying to all who would listen, "Why don't you give the kid a break?" Susanna and Dolly went on tour in advance of their picture, and Susanna consistently turned the spotlight Dolly's way, insisted that she do a piano solo at each appearance, and generally boosted Dolly's morale. "But I came back," said Dolly, "and there wasn't any work for me." She was 14 then, going on 15. She went to studio drama classes, kept up her piano practice, and impressed everyone a sweet shy little rabbit That was probably why she was cast as a saucy brat in "The Major and the Diana says, "I guess it was because I was there and there wasn't anyone else around." Whatever the reason, she clicked and Dolly Loehr became Diana Lynn.

After "The Major and the Minor" a lot of critics picked Diana Lynn as the youngster most likely to succeed as an actress. Diana has played a brat in "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" and is doing another in "And the Angels Sing." The shy little rabbit is no chatterbox. But with the greatest poise she can reminisce about the times she used to be amazed at Susanna Foster, who was one, and the times, awed and gaping, she tried to throw in a bright or witty never got one Susanna chattered. Diana still practices her piano hour a expects to make a career of music if pictures prove as uncertain as she thinks they are. She can't believe it but she had heard that she's to play Emily Kimbrough in "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay." She'd be ideal for it She has stars in her eyes.

She might easily get loet out ot tight of ber only guide, the Peace. By following it, she was certain to reach the Indian encampment eventually. Even if her progress was slower, she'd better play safe. With every step, her spirits lifted. Today, even her solitariness couldn't depress her.

How much better to be all by oneself in these singing wilds than with someone like Bert Stringer! She felt a new- surge of gratitude that she'd escaped. now, surely, she'd be back with Cleve. That knowledge buoyed her up. Proving he was well enough, they oould continue on together to Fort SL John, and Bill. She sat on a piece of driftwood, tumbled far up the bank by the mighty Peace at flood, to eat her scanty meal.

That wga the only thing that worried her, her dwindling food supplies. She wished she'd taken more from Stringer's larder, even though it would have meant a larger and heavier pack. Still, there couldn't be so many miles to go yet. Trouble was, something about the air up here made you ravenous. Wistfully, she remembered the thick juicy venison steak they'd had at Baird's.

She'd toyed with it Well, she wouldn't ever toy with one again. After lunch, on a sudden impulse, she took off her heavy boots and thick socks, and paddled her. feet in the river shallows. The oold water made her shiver, but it rested her, too. She had been on the way again for nearly three hours when ail at once something catapulted from a thicket ahead.

A furry shape launched itself at her. Startled, Penny dropped her pack, then cried, "Wolf! Wolf you darling!" She dropped to her knees, hugging him up in a frenzy of delight and relief. Whining, yapping, his pink tongue slapping her face, he wriggled ecstatically in her arms. The pleasure, he made it very clear, was mutual. To her astonishment, Penny found that it had started to rain.

At least, the malemute's coat was getting wet. She glanced up at a blurring sky, ana realized that she was crying. Her tears were spattering Wolf's silky coat. "Silly," she said. "Why should I be crying when I'm happy?" She rubbed her eyes clear energetically.

"Such nonsense!" It was then she saw Cleve' swinging up over a ridge. "Cleve!" she cried. "Oh, Cleve!" Leaving her pack where it had fallen at Wolf's onslaught, she ran forward. She heard herself shouting and laughing deliriously. They met and clung.

"Penny, you're safe," said Cleve huskily. "Oh, thank God!" Cleve you're better. You're able to travel."

Today I talked with a man 'who was born in Washington 53 years -ago and who has lived here ever since, but who has never been inside either the White House or the Capitol; said that for a half century he hag been admiring the dome of the Capitol from a distance and thinking some day he would take off an hour and go over and see what's under it. Congressman Sam Buseell, of StephenvUle, finally got wise to himself and left Washington for a physical checkup and a rest; two weeks ago Speaker Rayburn and the Capitol physician urged Sam to get out of town for a while because of his health; but he Insisted on staying here because of several Important war measures in which he was Interested; since coming to Washington he has developed asthma, couldn't sleep, low altitude made it hard for him even to breathe, tired, worn out from over-work, run down; I hope a higher altitude and a little rest will do him good and that he will come back feeling better.
